Considering a few factors:

1. I am not independently wealthy

2. I do not work for a corporation because I enjoy it

3. My top priority, bar none, is my families well being and contentment

4. Our household normally goes against the grain, when compared against the general population, in almost every facet.

I would rather receive a cash bonus and allow my family the opportunity to decide what 'bonus' to receive. Regardless of the intent, I can all but guarantee that any gift as a bonus would not be the choice that would have been made.
